boone57 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hello everyone. Can someone please post a link or point me in the right direction to do a background and credit check on a Thai national? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) To my knowledge, the place for a police check is ... The application for a Thai police certificate can be made at The Police Clearance Service Centre, 1st Floor (Building 24) Royal Thai Police Headquarters, Rama I Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok, 10330. : www.pcscentre.sb.police.go.th We had to do a police check for the gf last month ... but don't know if you can do one on someone else. Give them a call. About the credit question, sorry, I have no information. Edited May 17, 2014 by David48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YipYipYa123 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 i doubt you can walk in with someones name on a piece of paper and ask for a background check on a thai national ...........especially as a farang but tell us if it works ........might be useful to check staff or something ,probably not though as many crimes are sorted out with cash and the paperwork gets shredded if a suitable payment is offered to "forget" the crime in plenty of instances ...... thailand is still a very long way behind the west in such matters especially uniform conformity when it comes to differnt stations and their interpretation of the law even in bkk alone it costs 500 if your caught using a certain underpass and the next one is policed by a differnt station and it only costs 200 to illegally use their underpass on a bike and they are a mile apart on the same road ..........go thailand !

ezzra Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don't think that in Thailand, there is a company that offers this service as a commercial service unlike other countries, couple with the fact that Thais like to change their names very often not out of malicious intent, but to bring better luck by having a more auspicious name... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewlyMintedThai Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 There are of course companies that do background searches in Thailand. And there are two credit bureaus which track individuals' credit-worthiness. Names changes are of no consequence, as checks are done by the 13-digit ID number. Do some googling and you will find what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a third party company you have no way of knowing if the report you just paid for is true or they just made it up like mr somchai boonchawongisat is a good guy ......or am i missing something ? if they said anything else under thai law he could sue them for defamation ?? best ask in the laywer a question like this ..........

NewlyMintedThai Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 You would obviously want to use a trustworthy provider. If you are of the type that trust farangs more than Thais there are international companies which have offices here. They will simply tell you whether the person has ever been arrested, if there is an outstanding warrant in his name, whether there has been any litigation against him in the court system, etc. All kinds of institutions use these services before they hire people, go into business relationships with them, extend credit to them, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YipYipYa123 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 if hes ever been arrested but not charged/jailed etc or bribed his way out it probably wont come up on any search but worth trying i suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewlyMintedThai Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 'Private' detectives can do this can't they ? Yes, of course. Just don't hire one of those low-level farang "private investigators" who go around checking on bar girls for their overseas papas.

YeaBiGgiEs Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Don't speak too loud, I'm kinda glad there really isnt "credit checks" here in Thailand. Don't feel that not paying my JC Penny credit card should have anything to do with me securing my condo. Some people do value their roof before they do their bills yet in the USA, bad credit, you won't get an apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somchaismith Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Why the covert need to snoop on people's backrounds? Why not just ask them to obtain a copy of their background check for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
